no... though the mustang was done 'right'

i cringe when Detriot wants to continually bring back OLD names from eras we'd rather have forgotten... of cars that had been built when quality and build finish was waaay a afterthought by those Union workers that just clocked in without caring about the product being spat out.

malibu?

monte carlo?

not only that, but these recent rebirths that...still didn't sell well... looked cheesy, had interiors that were so plastic, and are neutered versions of their past... no power.

don't bring back the Thunderbird either.

I thought the sketches looked better than the real thing :/

I think the Chevy Cobalt SS is supposed be their answer to the 'stang

To put the muscle car thing in perspective, however, consider that the Cobalt SS Supercharged weighs less than a five-speed 1987 IROC-Z, and almost matches the output of the Camaro's 5.0-liter V8. Fact is the Cobalt SS is likely quicker than the IROC, although it'll get spanked by a 230-hp, turbocharged Dodge Neon SRT-4 which costs about the same.

The Cobalt SS also drives much like that old Camaro, and we mean that as a compliment, mostly. It tracks beautifully, pulls hard through corners and its electric steering has a heavy, numb feel reminiscent of the third-generation F-body. That kind of steering worked in heavy muscle cars cranking Huey Lewis and the News, but the 2005 tuner market wants, and expects, improved feel and feedback.

At least they got it right with the Corvette Z06 :thumbsup:

The retro craze needs to die, quickly.

I agree. I hate ripoffs of classic cars. Even the new Ford Mustang makes me gag.

as stylish as it is, like all things, the concept may look nothing like the car they end up with, case in point the new GTO:

Concept
Production

As far as the Camaro goes, the best one I think is

eh matter of opinon i guess. i hate all mustangs they are just cheap cars but i love how the new mustang looks. As for the camaro i love the original 68 SS so if the new one wants to look anything like it be my guest better than the 20's/2000 that looks liek crap with a giant plastic pointed fender thing in the front

 

[iroast]

Yep, that's america's answer to increasing foreign auto sales. Make crappy cars and badge whore them out as classics.

Very nice, kinda doing the retro thing like Ford is doing.

Actually, they're probably looking at Ford's sales numbers and going "Why isn't the Camaro selling like that?? It should be.....oh....yeah, I forgot."
